Reality

Literally rec’d it. I really think it’s necessary to understand that the Rome-wasn’t-built-in-a-day metaphor is an apt one in this case.

I look at it like this. Were at 3 wins, already an improvement over last year, i expected 4-5 wins and considered that a huge jump just as a lot of people i saw posting on here before the season, were still on track for that. That being said, if we all expected this team to win around 4 games why do we all still complain about our team looking like a 4-12 team?

I looked up the word “patience” it said the capacity to be patient. .. “patient”… bearing pain or trials without complaint… also… showing self control… calm, steadfast, persevering.
I thought patient meant that I did’nt like waiting or waiting some more.
I am going to have another rough year or two, why, why, why, did I have to be a Chiefs fan?.

A lot of this goes back to PA’s post on Cement trucks and cranes, Those that are freaking out over this season came into it with unrealistic expectations. The Chiefs are closer to an expansion team than what most of us would ever hope for and calling for the GM, HC, all the coordinators, and even the QB’s head is all very premature. Ok We do need an Offensive and new Defensive Coordinator, but there just wasn’t enough time in the off season to get these things taken care of before we started. The Draft was done with people who were on the way out the door, there just wasn’t time to do all the things that we wanted Hell needed to get done. So Why is it that so many are so freaked out over whats happened so far, Hell I see improvement and a reason to believe it will continue.

Cassel, I’m not sure what was expected of a guy just starting for his second season, with a new offense, new receivers almost every week, and no line protection. I’m not saying he will be a pro bowler in the near future but I don’t think he has really had a fair shot at the job to say he’s a bust either. Once he has some tools to work with, some protection so he can see the field, and can know who he is throwing the ball to, then I think we can start judging him. I’m older so I remember that Len Dawson’s first season was a bit rough and he turned out alright, all I;m saying is give him and the rest of the Chiefs a real chance before you form the lynch mob.

Okay I give up. I’ll be optimistic today only. but not about cassel. to be honest I like pioli. i’m glad he is here. I’ve had my ups and downs with him too but I’m glad he’s here.

that which starts sour, ends sweet, and that which starts sweet ends sour………beware, Donkos!

Your level headed approach is appreciated (at least by this guy).

You just blogged all the things I’ve been saying about the Chiefs for the past month. Seriously, I completely agree 100%. I would have posted something like this, but I’m too lazy to do any thing larger than a comment or fanpost.

is an excellent post! First you have a Chiefs fan and take away logic and reasoning and then you have a Raiders fan….or at least it seems that way. We can be better fans so point well taken.

In hopes of reveling in the day of watching all the detractors eat crow.

This is my first year as a season ticket holder and I’m renewing. I’m holding on to the fact that when Vermeil and Trent Green first came here, they had six wins.

I agree with almost everything you said. Haley and Pioli do deserve more time. Im willing to give them 4 more years. That is how long it takes to build a superbowl team. HOWEVER, what annoyed me the most , and what i disagree with was your comparison of the two QB’s (out of 3) we have.

Cassel vs Croyle
I hope the Chiefs do release Croyle. He is better suited on a good team. You can call Croyle brittle, but lets get something straight. He took some bad hits. Cassel hasn’t taken those same hits that got croyle injured. The rules changed. I Didn’t see anyone tackling Cassels leg. That will put every QB out. Oh wait, Cassel did get tackled by his leg in pre season and was out for a bit. Is he brittle?

You say Croyle had a better supporting cast. You also stated that the same supporting cast isn’t on the team or even in the NFL any longer. I am confused.

You cannot compare accuracy. If you want, Cassel is 54% and Croyle is 57% for the CHIEFS. Almost the same amount of games played.

In order to win Superbowls, you need to have a better than good to great QB. Cassel is not. If he was all that and a bag of chips, he would have gotten the Pats to the playoffs last year……..with much better receivers/team. He would have also gotten us atleast 2-3 more wins

Against the Skins – D Fense won that game.
Against the Raiders (2) – Jamaal Charles and D Fense won that game.
Against the Steelers – Jamaal Charles and D Fense won that game.

The only thing I see is Cassel losing us games. He is a turd, and HE needs to go. But we already know that is not happening don’t we? Is that what your quick spliff about Cassel was? To give him time because we are stuck with his sorry @$$? To diss Croyle to boost Cassel’s value? I don’t get it.

And by the way, nothing else matters. We need a QB first and foremost. Great QB’s make coaches look like Einsteins.

.

Brodie Croyle, he sucks. Flat out sucks. The guy is brittle as can be, has no accuracy, and never even won a game as a starter, with better talent around him than Cassel has. So please, enough already.

This is the exact same garbage you’re telling other people not to do. I think you’d be hardpressed to find anyone who says Croyle had better talent around him. I wish I could unrec this kool aid sucking crap.
